In my opinion........

The main problem with most women is that we lack self-confidence. Whether we think we are too fat, too flat, or just hate ourselves in general; our self esteem affects our relationships. Nobody wants to be around a "Debbie Downer", especially when out on a date. As hard as it may be for you to act confident, you need to in order to have a successful night out. NOTE: Confident does not mean cocky.

Being cool, calm, and collected will give you success in any circumstance. In my experience with dating and with watching other relationships, there is a certain code of conduct that is most effective with dating.

On the date:

• Smile :) it makes you and the other person more comfortable
• Try to avoid awkward silences
• Be a good listener, he likes when you act really interested
• Don't over-analyze everything, go with the flow
• Do not put yourself down at all
• Don't go on and on about your past relationships; you can't start a new chapter if you are still stick in the last one.
